Adult Living-Donor Kidney Transplantation, Donor Age, and Donor-Recipient Age.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Owing to organ shortage, the number of kidney transplantation (KT) involving older adult living donors is increasing. We aimed to investigate the effects of living-donor age and donor-recipient age differences on KT outcomes.

Methods

This single-center, retrospective cohort study involved 853 adult LDKTs performed between January 2008 and December 2018. Recipients were stratified into the following 5 groups based on donor age and donor-recipient age difference: donor age, 30 to 49 years and age difference, -10 to 15 years; donor age, 50 to 69 years and age difference, -10 to 15 years; donor age, 50 to 69 years and age difference, 15 to 40 years; donor age, 70 to 89 years and age difference, -10 to 15 years; and donor age, 70 to 89 years and age difference, 15 to
